There is officially snow on the ground in New York City… and we all know what that means. Tonight, you’re most likely going to cozy up on the couch and watch re-runs of your favorite TV show on Netflix. Don’t be that person! Take advantage of the bustling city right outside your window—even when it’s a chilling 20 degrees outside. Need a little cold weather inspiration? We’ve put together a list of five fun ways to escape the snow and stay entertained.
